PO25-475 D&B Supplier Risk Manager Subscription

The State of Illinois is conducting a small purchase procurement with sole source conditions for a Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Supplier Risk Management Subscription, designated as PO25-475. The procurement is specifically seeking a subscription to D&B's Supplier Risk Manager platform, which appears to be a targeted solution for managing and assessing supplier risk profiles. The contract opportunity was posted on December 30, 2024, with a final due date of December 31, 2024, indicating a very short procurement timeline. The procurement seems to be limited to a single vendor solution, suggesting that Dun & Bradstreet is the preferred or only acceptable provider for this specific risk management technology. Based on the attached standard terms and conditions, vendors will need to comply with comprehensive requirements including insurance coverage, record retention protocols, and potential federal funding considerations.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, though the sole source nature suggests limited competitive bidding. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the standard terms indicate provisions for minority contractors, including a $15 fee for contracts over $1,000. The standard terms require vendors to maintain significant insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial and auto liability, and workers' compensation insurance. Record retention requirements mandate documentation be kept for three years (or five years if federal funds are involved), and vendors must adhere to intellectual property and confidentiality guidelines. Although a specific award value is not listed, the subscription-based nature of the D&B Supplier Risk Manager suggests an annual contract value that would be consistent with enterprise-level risk management software pricing. Potential respondents should carefully review the standard terms and conditions document to ensure full compliance with the State of Illinois procurement requirements.
